    Don't you think this is less inflammatory?

    Can the powers that be really force that upon someone?

    Have you ever agreed to do something that you really didn't want to, after declining a couple times?

    You mean like when you agree to go out on a date because you just couldn't think of another excuse to turn the person down again?

    Surely the topic is slightly different if it's over the interwebs?

    At what point would one cease to continue doing something that they did not really want to do - but in a moment of weakness agreed to - whether it involved bits and bytes, or anything else?

    Would it be at the point that they said what they really feel?

    The question is: Cogito, how do you really feel about being a moderator?

    Who was it who first said, "It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it." What if he or she preferred something like "just" being a Reviewer?

    How could you not help but admire such a person?

    (sure it's a bit of suck-up, but - it's still in the form of question)

    Have you ever considered that "admire" is a positive opinion whilst really it should be "respect" as you can both respect their dedication yet be full of disdain to the person underneath?

    (not getting at anyone, but - it's still in the form of question)

    How can you not admire and dote on someone who is instantly at your beckon when you call their name? Cogito?

    Is it possible for someone to admire a person and dislike them/resent them at the same time?

    Why would you ask such a question?
    (And one more, if you'll pardon me):

    Why did Jimmy Altman have dog poop at his party? Is this some sort of strange ritual?
    (Sorry that was two).

    Is it not reasonable to think that maybe his dog just happened to poop at the party?

    Do games need to end? Can't they continue until no one wants to play anymore?
